If you get yourself a new PS4 or PS5 console, if you can get your hands on one, you can operate the console without a PlayStation account.

If you do not already have a PS account, this guide will help you with the basic process of creating a PSN account on either a PS4, a PS5, or the PS app on your smartphone.

In addition, signing in with your PS account gives you access to loads of multimedia applications on the PS4 or PS5 console, along with tons of free games to choose and play from. Furthermore, if you want to purchase a game or any other PS service, a PSN account is a must; hence creating a PSN account is a must for every PlayStation console owner.
